Abstract
Software as a service is wildly used for its merit of low cost, free maintain and extensibility. How to transform a well developed typical web application to a cloud based multi-tenant SaaS application is a problem for many software vendors. In this paper we provided an example typical web application and described the process and some needed factors for transforming it to SaaS application and detail showed the step for achieving the goal in three different type database model. The result showed that the transformation was feasible and efficient and the solution would have some references for transforming web application to SaaS application.
